I tried a Niacinamide (4%) with Vitamin C (1%) serum on my 81 year old face and it sort of burned my face: bright red, stinging like mad and itchy. I really don't know anyone I can ask about skincare but really couldn't bring myself to use the serum any more. Resorted to La Roche Posay and some marvellous SOS moisturiser from Caudalie - thank goodness for them.
Unfortunately i don't think it is incredibly tolerated!! There's more people coming out saying it irritates them myself being one of them and a friend with Rosacea being another not even at 2 percent. It's very frustrating as i would like to be able to use it personally.
I'm using a 5% niacinamide serum for last 1 month and it seems to be irritating my skin too! Although I'm not fully sure if it's exactly due to the serum, I've been getting small bumps and pimples a while after I started using niacinamide. Thankfully it's not very bad yet, my skin is still somewhat clear, still can't help worrying -_-
@@ericmaharjan5839 Niacinamide does not cause purging. Niacinamide does not increase cellular turnover meaning it doesn’t speed up how fast old skin cells shed, therefore it doesn’t bring up underlying acne from within the skin.
Any ingredients can create irritation or allergies to anyone. Maybe your skin can't stand it. I have sensitive skin and get this reaction from many ingredients that seems ok like Urea or even low level of glycolic acid, vit C and the list goes on so I have just learned to use other ingredients that do the same thing. Thankfully for me my skin love niacinamide. You should try products with glycomactone/pitera used a lot in korean/japanese skincare like sk2 but there are cheaper options as well like secret key...I find that it works the same as niacinamide to me.
It stings my eyelids, so I wish it’d be left out of cleansers. Also, it’s included in so many products now, I find it essential to check ingredients in everything I use, so I’m not repetitively using it way too much, certainly leading to irritation.
Hi first let me say thank you for this video. So very much appreciated. How would you layer this. Alongside Argerline and Matrixyl. Thank you for any help advice you can give. Stay safe and well. Xx
Dr. Sam, could you look into natural sources of niacinamide or vitamin b3? I'm someone who gets acne when I use products with niacinamide. I also had a coworker tell me that taking pure niacin internally was very aggravating and I wondered if the ingredient is too strong. I don't know if that correlates or not. I enjoy your videos and expertise. XO
I got really irritated using the ordinary 10% niacinamide. Maybe because i used it on top of lactic acid 5%, or maybe because i used too much. I got itchy, dry, red skin, and small bumps and pimples.
I use 10% Niacinamide in serum and 5% in moisturizer. I know that way too much and can cause irritation but actually it helps me a lot to reduce the redness and inflamation because of purging when I used retinol.
@@elida3233 ik that but I mean is it as effective as vitamin c and q10 in preventing free radical damage, or is it not worth being use as an effective antioxidant
Answer: it absolutely is!!!
Also, congrats on subscribers milestone 💖🎉
This video is helpful especially for me because I'm dealing with oily acne-prone and rosacea. Thank you, Dr. Bunting! 😀

Never pair Niacinamide with Vitamin C. You can google for the same for more details. I hope your skin is fine now.
Thanks Dr Sam for all the tips. I having been using Niacinamide serum for 2 years and love it. Take care.
One of my favorite ingredients 😍
YES it’s worth. I LOVE niacinamide 🧡
Thanks for the video, Are we talking about oral or topical Niacinamide? are there any diffence when taking orally? thank you!
Thank you for this video, Dr. Sam! I bought a Niacinamide serum today and this video will help a lot! 🙏
Loving the series!
Wow. Thank you. I use it but understand it so much better now. It’s a keeper.

Paula’s Choice Pore Purifier has it in it and I’ve had no problems
Niacinamide changed my skin!
Same for me ! I love it.
@@HereDiianas Are there any risks by using Niacinamid in the summer ?
What about those who get “purging” and increased acne from niacinamide? Is this a myth?
I think I'm purging from niacinamide Its been a week I introduced it in my routine now I'm getting spots on my face!

Have exactly the same problem, niacin anode and vitamin c break me out even if it’s a low %
Would you recommend BAKUCHIOL OIL and NIACINAMIDE SERUM together?
Hello Dr Sam. Please could you advise how long I should leave my skin after barrier damage before re adding retinol? Thank you.
Unfortunately every niacinamide product I've ever tried has caused a red burning flush.
Hello Sam, can we use it before the retinoide, in the same routine?
yes
Does it help prevent skin cancer
Can you put it on eyelids or just surrounding the eye areas. I just bought the ordinary serum. Thank you.

Do your products ship to US? I can’t find where to convert to US $. Thank you.
Yes. Google her website just add US. It’ll give you all her products in US dollars. I use Dr Sam’s products and I’m in the US.
